Accurate (i+1) Assessment for English Learners

So I created an assessment plan for one of my English learners named Aldo. He is CELDT level 2 (early intermediate) so I have designed a lesson plan that meets his needs. Keeping the (i+1) in mind I have used ELD Intermediate level standards for Aldo. This is the ELD standard that I highlighted as my goal in my lesson design:


ELD Standard Literary Response & Analysis
 
Cluster : 6 ES
 
Level: Intermediate
 
I: Use expanded vocabulary and descriptive words in parapharsing oral and written responses to texts


Keeping that in mind, I have created an assesment for the entire class that adresses this goal.
This is the assessment that I have come up with:



8. ASSESSMENT(S)

      B. Formative-Progress Monitoring:
 

1.Students are able to complete Quick write on legacy of Scientific Revolution. The meaning of this activity is to check and enhance the students understanding of the various scientists who contributed to the Scientific Revolution and questioned old beliefs. The students will be able to discuss in groups what they think are some major points they could add to their quick write. This is intended to help the EL and IEP students who could us the help from a group or partner.

Formality: Formal; the students will get a grade for their quick write response.

Implementation Method: written

Communication of Expectations: modeling critical thinking skills

Evaluation Criteria: Visual

Feedback Strategies: Written comments based on CAHSEE rubric for grammar and sentence structure.

 
2. Students are able to begin a packet that teaches the students how to use Document Based Questions. These assignments are intended to enhance their critical thinking and readings skills. Students will read the documents in class and highlight and take notes on specific words that may be confusing. Then the students will work on the assignment with a partner or in a group.

Formality: Formal. The students will receive a grade for their completion of the packet.

Implementation Method: written

Communication of Expectations: modeling critical reading and comprehension skills.

Evaluation Criteria: visual

Feedback Strategies: written comments and score

 
     C. Summative: The students will be asked to answer questions on worksheets about the reading. These worksheets will ensure their full understanding of the material.

Formality: Formal. The students will receive a grade for their completion of the packet.

Implementation Method: written
